General Information

The Data Modeling is an international, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that publishes research articles on all aspects of system and chemical biology. The Journal publish article continuously. All accepted manuscripts are granted free online open-access immediately after publication, which permits its users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of its articles, thus facilitating access to a broad readership.

Data Modeling is dedicated to the dissemination of fundamental information related to the research on biological systems using mathematical models, or methodological articles likely to find application to multiple biological systems.

When submitting an article to the Data Modeling authors are not charged any fees. The correspondng author of accepted manuscript will be charged for a publication fees. All publications in this journal are covered according to creative common licesnse and ER open access policy. The author can choose open access option to publush their paper with certain fees (please see details fees and other charges in open access section.

  • Supporting Information: Supporting information files can be provided up to a maximum file size of 100 MB each (e. g. graphs, photos, animations, movie files, large tables, rotatable molecular models, characterization data, spectra, crystallographic data etc.). If LaTeX was used for preparation of supporting information files, a ZIP archive containing the *.tex document, a PDF version of it, the corresponding *.bib file (if appropriate) and all referenced files (graphic files, etc.) must be provided. The main manuscript must include a short description of all supporting information files.
